If your family has chosen cremation, we offer affordable services that help celebrate the life of your loved one while giving you several options for a public gathering, and a final resting place.
A significant number of families derive profound meaning and find solace in a customary funeral ceremony. By opting for a blend of traditional rites and cremation, you retain the choice of a final viewing, visitation, or wake, followed by a formal funeral service. The divergence lies in the subsequent process, as after the ceremony, cremation takes place instead of the conventional in-ground burial. Depending on your preferences, the cremated remains can be either returned to your family for safekeeping in an urn, scattered, or interred. This option encompasses charges for both the funeral services and the cremation process itself.
The memorial service, also known as a Celebration of Life, is a gathering held in honor of the deceased individual, even in their absence. It can be hosted in our chapel, a church, or any location chosen by the family. We work closely with our families to create a ceremony that commemorates their loved ones through stories, music, or sacred texts.
A graveside or committal ceremony for those who have chosen cremation is usually scheduled on a meaningful day for the family or at a time that is most convenient. This event can take the form of a complete traditional graveside service, complete with readings, music, and religious rituals. Alternatively, it can be a more intimate gathering of those closest to you, focused solely on the purpose of interring the ashes.
A direct cremation is a simple and straightforward method of disposition where the deceased's body is promptly taken to a crematory after death, without any prior viewing or funeral services. This process bypasses traditional ceremonies, allowing for a more minimalist approach. The ashes are typically returned to the family, providing them with the flexibility to hold a memorial or scattering ceremony at a later time and location of their choosing.
